Wołowa Turnia, Mountain summit in Tatra Mountains, Poland.

Ochsenrückenturm is a summit in the Tatra Mountains featuring a distinctive ridge line that forms its defining characteristic. The peak rises prominently from the surrounding terrain and can be spotted from various vantage points in the range.

The summit has long served as a reference point for travelers crossing the Tatra Mountains. Its distinctive shape made it a reliable landmark for mountain navigation throughout the centuries.

The name Ochsenrückenturm refers to the ridge-like shape of the peak, which resembles a back or spine. This mountain carries different names across cultures due to its location in a border region.

The ascent follows several marked hiking trails that are generally accessible from spring through early autumn. Best visiting conditions occur during the drier months when trails are more stable and visibility is clearer.

From this summit, the outlines of surrounding peaks become especially clear due to the excellent sightlines afforded by its elevation and shape. Visitors can observe how the geological formations of the entire massif connect and relate to one another.
